+**v1.09 beta**   2022-06-21
+
+Fixed: Hang on Hint screen (If this has any problems, please run v1.06 instead.)
+
+New: Doubled the size of the GPS bread crumb trail. It'll retain about 1,500 miles of GPS history before overwriting the oldest spot in its circular buffer.
+
+New: Griduino can automatically and continually update your computer's time of day. It requires you to install NMEATime2, available from www.visualgps.com and is free for 30 days then purchased for about $20. Please try it out and send me comments about this beta test.

 **v1.08**   2022-06-07
 
-Fixed: A rare condition in some Griduinos running v1.07 causes it to hang on the startup Hint screen. This doesn't happen often, but if starts then it will always hang during boot.
+Not Quite Fixed: A rare condition in some Griduinos running v1.07 causes it to hang on the startup Hint screen. This doesn't happen often, but if starts then it will always hang during boot. The problem tends to occur after driving for some distance, perhaps about a hundred miles.
 
-Version 1.08 is recommended for all users.
